The appellant tenant sought an adjournment of an appeal from a Landlord and Tenant Board decision because their counsel failed to file the required appeal materials.
The respondent landlord objected, noting the tenant was in arrears of rent and hydro.
The Divisional Court granted a short adjournment to prevent prejudice to the client, on strict conditions that the appellant pay all arrears and file materials by a specified date, failing which the appeal may be dismissed.
